The website documentation now points to these contents in a clone of the repository on opencircuitdesign.com, so all future edits of the command-line documentation will be made directly to the git repository. Also: Changed the precision of box values printed in microns from 2 to 3 digits after the decimal place, so that 5 nanometer grids do not get values clipped in the output.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>addpath</B> command is used to control which directories
|
|
magic searches when attempting to read an undefined cell. It
|
|
can only be used to append new directories to the existing
|
|
search path (see below). This command is most often used when
|
|
groups of subcells such as a standard-cell library or padframe
|
|
library is kept in a separate place from the rest of the layout.
|
|
In such cases it is convenient to put this command in the
|
|
<B>.magic</B> file in the layout directory to ensure that all
|
|
cells required by the layout are accessible at runtime.

|
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B>addpath</B> is a <B>magic</B> built-in command. It is
|
|
retained for backwards compatibility, but is superceded by
|
|
the <B>path</B> command, which allows complete control over
|
|
the layout search path contents, as well as other search
|
|
paths used by <B>magic</B>.
